Today’s Positive Poetry (Now is the time to act)
Be open to the signs when you wake in the morning Think of the sender as you move about your day Praise the beauty all around you Know more is to come Tell yourself you will move on it Be ready to act when it comes Let go of needing your sign And now it comes your way Once it comes you are bewildered You wonder if it is real The presence is all around you Now is the time to act Craig

More On Playing Thy Role Well (Another actors testimony)
Yesterday I saw an interesting interview with Jessie Eisenberg, who played Mark Zuckerberg in the movie The Social Network. He was talking about a different movie he acted in. He said that during the time period he was playing this part he noticed that as he went about his days and evenings off the set he found himself being so happy, much more than usual. At first he could not figure out why. Then he thought about it and came to the conclusion it was because of the character he was playing this time. Jessie said that this guy was extremely happy. He then said “I need to look for…

Positive Poetry (Can you do this, if so, you are truly great indeed)
Can you let go of what people think of and expect of you? Can you let go of worrying about how you are being treated? Can you let go of situations in your life having to be the way you imagine or think that you would like them to be? Can you let go of your dreams as you move towards them? Can you let go of the identity that you have built up and the one you have been trying to create and uphold? Can you let go of being accepted, loved and appreciated? If so you are truly great indeed. Can you look for beauty and wonder everywhere?…

Today’s Positive Thought (“To thyself be true”)
Whether we realize it or not we are all on the spiritual path of enlightenment. We are all moving closer and closer to realizing our oneness with the eternal. In other words whether we understand it, like it, or not, we are all spiritual masters in the making. Not only is this happening but everything that is happening in our lives is trying to get us to move more and more into this realization. Having said that, I will also say that there is a stage on the path in which to go against ones own dharma or way of being is like high treason. It is denying the will…

Today’s Positive Thought (Find your place under the sun and be there)
G od created everything. He made the sun, the moon, the earth, the people and the animals. God also created the trees. Each tree bears it’s own fruit, and the birds flock accordingly. We have to be more like the trees. A tree knows its place. You don’t find the apple tree trying to bear coconuts. The weeping willow knows it belongs near the lake. The palm tree only shows up in warmer climates. When the trees bear their fruit, the birds, insects, bees etc., come automatically. The tree doesn’t have go out chasing after them. We must find our place under the sun, and be there. We…

Be willing to act and be willing to let go
At one time in my life I was living in an apartment where my neighbors upstairs could be loud at times. They were not terrible but sometimes the television would be loud, late at night, and early in the morning. One particular morning I heard the T.V. rather loud just above my head at 6:00 am. I was trying to write and meditate, and for whatever reason I chose to stay in the room I was in and I found myself quite distracted. I could have moved to another room or even another floor of my apartment where I could not hear the T.V. but I felt like I should…

Today’s Positive Thought (You have to empty your basket)
O ften we feel that when we are on the spiritual path, we don’t get angry. We’re just these extra nice people who never get angry and upset. But we’re still human, and we’re still growing even when we are consciously on the spiritual path. Even when we’ve learned how to meditate or go within, and come in contact with the eternal vibration, even if we are having deep experiences, we are still human. At times we’re going to find ourselves in situations that make us angry and upset. When we do find ourselves getting angry, or when our basket gets filled, we need to empty it. We need to…
